The article presents the results of scientific and experimental work to improve the effectiveness of the process of teaching swimming to children of primary school age based on the use of innovative visual material. The expediency of using a set of methodological materials at the stage of swimming training, aimed at increasing interest, motivation for systematic swimming lessons, achieving the optimal possible level of physical fitness and physical performance ofyounger schoolchildren, has been proved. Keywords:swimming, training, education, children of primary school age, interest, motivation, means, methods, visibility. Swimming - one of the most important links in the education of children of primary school age - promotes versatile physical development, stimulates the activity of the nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, significantly expands the capabilities of the musculoskeletal system. It isone ofthebest means of hardening and forming the correct posture ofthechild. Theprocess of learning to swim solves various problems, including health promotion and hardening, mastering the vital skill of swimming, the formation of sustainable interest, motivation for swimming and a healthy lifestyle. A large percentage of younger students do not have a predisposition to high achievements in sports swimming, but this does not detract from the importance of this type of physical activity for the development and strengthening of the body, maintaining the health of the child. In this regard, it is relevant to develop ways to form a motivated need for systematic swimminglessons, bothin sports and inthe general developmental aspect. Swimming does not develop in isolation, but in a system of social ties and relationships. Therefore, many processes and phenomena occurring in the sports movement have a deep social meaning, and they can be understood only in unity with the interests and needs of children. That's why children's interest in swimming lessons should be taken into account, because this is animportant condition forthesuccessful implementation oftheirphysical education. Swimming promotes harmonious physical development, stimulates the activity of the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems, and significantly expands the capabilities of the musculoskeletal system. When children go swimming, they expand their volitional, motor, emotional experience. Swimming is considered one of the best means of hardening, the formation oftheskillof correct posture. Swimming is carried out under the influence of certain stimuli, motives, which act as the driving forces of the educational activity of students. Such motivating forces are needs, interests, beliefs, ideals, value orientations. They form the motivational sphere of educational activity.Insufficient physical activity negatively affects most of the functions of the growing organism. And this is a pathogenetic factor in the emergence and development of a number of diseases [1]. The teacher of physical culture and the coach of the youth sports school, observing and studying their students, must combine the professional interests and needs of children. This, of course, will help determine the promising area of application of forces, in which their abilities can be mostfully revealed. page1172 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue03,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai As noted above, interest is an important condition for the successful implementation of their physical education. In psychology, interest is characterized by a number of specific qualities: breadth (range of human interests), depth (degree of interest in any object), stability (duration of interest in any object), motivation (degree of consciousness or chance, intentionality ofinterest), effectiveness (manifestation ofactivity to satisfy interest). Theessence ofinterest, researchers suggest a wide variety ofitsdefinitions, inparticular: interest is the selective orientation of a person, his attention, thoughts, thoughts; identification of mental and emotional activity; activator of various feelings, active cognitive, emotional and cognitiveattitudeof aperson tothe world around him. In swimming lessons with children, it is imperative to use games and entertainment on the water. Games make swimming lessons more emotional, increase children's interest in repeating familiar exercises, help instill courage, independence, initiative, develop a sense of community, collectivism. One of the most important factors in the physical improvement of children is the development of their interest in movement and motor actions. Therefore, swimming evokes in children a feeling of joy and pleasure from movements, promotes emotional and motor emancipation, desires to engage in, that is, teaches them to enjoy the movement.
